Chapter 430: A long-lost title
ps: p.s. I suddenly saw the sign of the light of the great god today, and I couldn't help but feel that Hazuki had become an old author...... Thanks to the company of those loyal readers, shouldn't an old author like me be called "fluttering"?
Rosalena hadn't returned to Sand Eagle City at this time, but her "slaves" had already begun a rigorous search, and in Xiulin's opinion, Sand Eagle City had become an orderly military fortress.
With a bang, the layers of palm leaves were picked open by a scimitar, and a man in leather armor scanned under the palm tree with a puppet-like lifeless expression, the sharp blade reflecting the light of the lamp. This is where Xiulin has just hidden, and if she leaves half a minute late, she will be illuminated by the dazzling lights.
At this time, Xiulin was tightening her abdomen, huddled between the two old houses, and dust fell on her light red hair on the top of her head. The guard walked down the street beside her, kicked over a trolley loaded with garbage, the stench of rotting made the guard's brow furrow, and he strode around the pile of garbage, banging heavily on the door next to him.
The family had already woken up, and when they heard an explosion coming from the direction of the castle, many people woke up, but they were forced to go out because of the ban. The guard anxiously asked the family a few words, asking them if they had seen "outsiders" passing by. Xiulin could hear that they thought that the person who attacked the castle must be an outsider, although I don't know why, in short, this is a good thing for Xiulin.
If it weren't for the injuries in her neck and right hand, and the dirty clothes, Xiulin could have pretended to be in the city all the time - she was a local - and waited for the guards to let their guard down before trying to get out. But. She couldn't delay too long, and her entire right arm became as heavy as lead. Thankfully, she's in a clear state and her arms aren't mutated at all, but how long can she last like this?
After getting the answer of "I haven't seen it", the guard walked quickly towards Xiulin, he noticed that the distance between the two houses could hide a person, Xiulin's good figure was in trouble at this time, she wanted to find a narrower place but couldn't tighten her breasts. The moment the lights lit up the gap, a thin ice cube passed through the center of the guard's throat. So the guards never made a sound again.
As the guard fell backwards, Xiulin grabbed him by the hem of his shirt. Using the guard's body as cover, she took a few steps outside, noticing that the other guards had left. Xiulin breathed a sigh of relief and lightly put down the guard's corpse. But just as she got up and prepared to continue to the city wall. A figure appeared behind her silently.
There was no hesitation. The moment she turned around, Xiulin raised the magic magic weapon pistol, and pointed the muzzle at the top of the man's head. She was stunned for a moment.
Not the guards who came back to search.
Just a woman in a patched cotton dress with a shabby sheepskin shawl. There was also an eight-year-old girl under her arm, and both the woman and the little girl looked at her blankly.
For a moment, Xiulin was stunned.
The woman and the little girl looked thin, not like an ambushed killer, and it seemed that someone from the house next to them had come out to see what was going on. Xiulin quickly figured it out, and after the guard asked them, they probably didn't close the door immediately, and witnessed the guard walk to the gap between the two houses, suddenly stopped, blood flowing from the back of his neck, and then stood for a while, and was placed on the ground by another person. But why did they come out in that case? Didn't they realize that curiosity would kill them? If they stayed in the house, Xiulin would have no reason to hurt them......
Just as Xiulin hesitated, the woman squirmed her dry lips, her throat did not make a sound, but the shape of her mouth said a word that made Xiulin feel as if her head was buzzing.
"Lord Prophet. ”
......
Compared to the small building that Xiulin rented in Adrian City, this cottage was at most a storage room, with beds and tables in the room.
"It's been a long time. The woman smiled, smiling with tiredness, "You must not remember me, seven years ago I came to you with my husband to ask for advice, to see if I could have another child...... My name is Yasmin, my husband's name is Zale, and this is our daughter Mara. I was always in poor health after giving birth to Mara, and Zale wanted a son......"
Xiulin responded with a gentle but polite smile. To be honest, she doesn't remember this woman anymore, every day people ask some trivial things that are difficult for her to answer, and this woman's question is only one of the trivia. What can't escape is that when she heard the name Mara, she felt a severe pain in the depths of her heart, and her eyes unconsciously fell on the little girl named Mara. Xiulin also has a sister named Mara, who has not been in touch for a long time, far more than seven years.
"Ah, I'm sorry, it's been so long...... This is an antidote medicine, the people in the city usually prepare it, Lord Prophet, you can use it, your hands are ......" The woman named Yasmin picked up a clay jar and glanced at Xiulin's right hand sadly, the lack of blood circulation and freezing, Xiulin's hand had turned purple and black.
"It's okay, it doesn't seem to be a poisonous snake. Xiulin continued to smile beautifully, she took the medicine jar and sniffed the aroma of the medicine. There was no problem with the medicine, it was a very ordinary antidote ointment, she dipped her fingers in some ointment and applied it to the wound of the snake bite, and she didn't feel anything.
Xiulin didn't expect the desert people's antidote ointment to work, the poisoning of the origin magic was like the poisoning of the magic crystal, no medicine could reverse it, and she could only hope for her ability to withstand the origin magic. Yasmin picked up another jar, this time for burns.
"Kind lady, I don't even know how to thank you. ”
Xiulin was really a little moved, Yasmin didn't even suspect her at all, even when she pointed her at gunpoint. Yasmin called out to her, "Lord Prophet," and motioned for the door to let her in.
"You look terrible, come to my house first. As she spoke, she boldly grabbed Xiulin's arm.
"I seem to be in trouble for you. ”
Xiulin smeared the refreshing ointment on her neck and hands, and with little time, she was determined to take the risk, "To tell you the truth, I'm being hunted down. ”
"Is it an 'outsider'?" Yasmin straightened his back solemnly, "'Lord Huofeng' said, there have been evil outsiders who want to destroy us recently, and we have to fight to protect ourselves. Yasmin's gaze suddenly dimmed, "I wonder if the Prophet can tell me when this holy war will come......?"
"Why?" said Xiulin, who thought that Kui was not a war-loving people.
Yasmin shook his head.
"There is a beginning before there is an end, and only when the holy war is over can we return to our previous lives, in this case, it is better to start early. ”
Xiulin fell into deep thought. (To be continued......)
